According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro are writing The Hobbit themselves.My twisted little brain immediately went here:

Although I know the comparison has been made numerous times it’s far too funny not to repeat. At least Jackson’s no longer, as the great Smeagol says, “The fat one…”.
I can’t help myself I really do like these two and am pulling for this movie. I liked The Hobbit far more than J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy if only for it’s brevity. I mean how much walking do a bunch of hairy midgets have to do before it stops being interesting?
